Pub in Edinburgh

“Lovely local. Last came here 20 years ago on our honeymoon, and I am most pleased to report that it appears to have not changed a bit. Exactly as I had hoped...”

“The Abbey is the perfect pub for us! The service was fast and super-welcoming, the food is amazing and the pub is the nicest! Will definitely come back when visiting Edinburgh again!”

“A gem! Really, stumbled on it by chance and was mesmerized by the atmosphere and group of regulars playing music. Great selection of cask, craft keg British and imported (beer from Vietnam!), keg and bag-in-a-box ciders, various sizes available as well as flights. Would love to have a local like this”

“We stumbled on this place just out exploring. Unique menu, ambiance and excellent service”

“Super-friendly service and locals to enjoy some time with. Very dog friendly place and folks were great with our son. The charcuterie plate was delicious. A perfect end to the day if you're near Colinton.”

“Quick pint before a football game. Friendly welcome, pint of Stewart’s IPA and quality tunes being played. I’d love to come here more often but it’s a fair trek from home!”

“Such a cute place. The stuff was really friendly and the mulled gin amazing”

“Lovely pub with awesome staff, plenty beers and spirit options, very good atmosphere. Live bands most Sundays and a very good quiz every Friday.”

“Many pubs promise you a unique experience, but very few live up to the hype. Fortunately, the Starbar is not one of those. Even on a weekday afternoon, you can feel the atmosphere. The Guinness is excellent and the staff make you feel like long lost friends. The decor could best be described as quirky and while the Starbar won't be to everyone's taste, I loved it and I'm looking forward to a return visit.”

“We stopped here for some lunch, it was busy, but we got a table very quickly, there is outdoor seating, the seating arrangement inside weren't squeezed together so u didn't feel cramped, plenty of space to move your chair back to leave the table you don't hit other people The restaurant is traditionally decorated inside, it evokes a feeling of comfort and cosyness inside, helped by friendly welcoming staff, our food was delicious, hot and fresh, and arrived on our table in around 10 minutes despite it being very busy, the portion sizes were generous, we ordered steak pie and fish and chips, both dishes were really tasty We can highly recommend a visit to this restaurant Plus the added bonus of it being pet friendly, they have a bowl of water and some dog treats, which, as a dog owner, its those small gestures that we appreciated as our dog is an important family member and in this restaurant they welcome pets as a customer as well”

“Cracking little pub just outside Linlithgow railway station. Friendly service and good beer. The 71 Brewery Cloudfall was excellent”

“Popped into the East Port pub in Dunfermline and found some great cask ale which is sadly lacking in Scotland. Had some Shining Knight from Loch Leven brewery which was crystal clear and a great drop as they say. Mitch and Gina, happy to let us sample before buying. Great job, just had the two, honest guv.”

“A lovely cosy pub off the main road, hidden down a little alley way. We loved it here, the staff were very knowledgeable about the beers, and more than happy to help my partner out with his drink choice. The atmosphere was great, as the bar staff were chatty towards everyone and extremely polite. It’s an old school type of pub, with a cosy fire too. We loved it here!”

“5 star restaurant in central Edinburgh. Our local friends love the food and service here. Hubby and I ordered the Dry-aged Perthshire sirloin for two. Delicious coupled with potato and green beans. Our table also ordered dessert, the star for me was the Dark chocolate delice, pistachio, black cherry. Service and atmosphere met the food. A definite comeback and referral when in Edinburgh.”

“Awesome place to grab a beer. Has the feel of a biergarten but inside. Very cool feel to the place and great beers on tap. Good cocktails as well. Has some snacks, but only had some crisps (chips) while we were there. Liked it so much, went back twice in 4 days.”

“I was on soup kick while visiting Edinburgh and The Bailie Bar did the city proud! The soup of the day was Butternut and Coriander with a slice of focaccia. I was worried because butternut can be a bit sweet, but the coriander and hint of red chili balanced it perfectly. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere warm.”

“Amazing service. First Edinburgh experience and it as so welcoming! Great bartender.”

“We told some of our friends that we wanted to try good haggis, and this was a recommendation. It tends to get busy after lunch and into dinner so I recommend you make reservations. The staff is incredibly helpful and can answer any questions about the menu and great drinks. The food was incredibly flavorful and filling.”

“My husband and I loved this pub!! We randomly stumbled in for drinks one afternoon because my husband had to use the bathroom and it quickly became our favorite pub! We are Americans and were expecting people to be snarky to us because, ya know, but Karyn (our bartender) was incredibly friendly and we had a great chat. She told us about their open mic night on tuesdays and it was great- everyone was talented! Then we came back later on during the week for lunch and it was delicious. The owner, Kym, is lovely! Great service, environment and food- what more can you ask for?!”

“Been told forever to visit here. I finally came and I was NOT disappointed. Very nice establishment. Cosy and warm. The staff were friendly and attentive. Menu had plenty of choice. The beer is was slightly flat, but not horrific. Food was very tasty, and my Polish in-laws loved it. Would definitely come back here again. Great location!”

“Stellar experience. First the wine was very refreshing and simply delicious. The selection and pairings with the food was perfect. Then the food itself was delicate, diverse and sometimes even complex,but always with pleasure and taste as the center. The chef is very skilled, and the whole crew makes for the best hosts. I recommend fully”

“2nd visit here for the Wes Anderson double feature and absolutely making it a regular occurrence to see movies here despite me living outside of the city. The ambiance is unmatched, the food options are amazing and allergy inclusive & there’s also a bar where you can order drinks to take into the film with you! Staff are lovely and always helpful.”

“The staff here are super helpful and kind! I wasn’t sure if my discount code could be used more than once in a day, and my friend was running late. The staff kindly gave me my drink first and let me order again when my friend arrived so we could enjoy together. Really appreciate the great service and understanding. Also, the drink was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!”

“We had the perfect stay. On arrival our room was ready early and we had been upgraded. Every member of staff we met were welcoming and helpful. The Hotel is clean and comfortable. They have everything you need for your stay. Tea/ coffee tray, decent hairdryer, iron and ironing board. Location is perfect for all tourist attractions. Perfect hotel and we had a perfect stay. We can’t thank the staff enough for making our stay so nice.”

“Lovely place for a pint or two. The staff are so lovely and it is very kid friendly. Definitely recommend this place to anyone”

“Stopped in for lunch on the off chance. Highly recommended. The service was great, the food was amazing. If only I could have squeezed in a dessert... Perfect for a post walk rest. If you're within visiting distance, you won't regret it.”

“Went to see Ultimate Eagles. Seen them before and was not disappointed. In the introduction the lead singer stated they were not trying to be the eagles. They were just appreciating as close as possible to the authentic sound of The Eagles. And boy did they live up to that. Harmonies were spot on and the guitars and musicians were great. Thoroughly enjoyable two hours. Highly recommended.”

“Great place to go to, great atmosphere, really good people and the lager not bad either,”

“Best night out ever in Edinburgh. Amazing musicians! Has its own unique vibe”

“The best comedy venue in Scotland. Great vibes, better jokes and atmosphere. A must see if you want to experience classic Scottish standup. During the fringe it gets some of the best acts.”
